Double Feature is a whirligig of a ballet. Broadway’s Susan Stroman, of the smash hits The Producers and Young Frankenstein, has created a masterful tribute to America’s silver screen era. Like its namesake, the ballet features two stories under one bill of fare.
The first, "The Blue Necklace," is a 1920’s Cinderella story complete with an abandoned daughter, matinee idol, and endless line of Louise Brooks look-a-like chorines.
"Makin’ Whoopee" follows the story of Jimmie Shannon, who has only hours to find a wife or forfeit his uncle’s fortune. Complete with songs by Irving Berlin and Walter Donaldson, Double Feature is double the fun.
